Fear of Sleep --> sleep apnea
Your sinuses may be contributing to your breathing problems and if you are in Canada the cold weather is making it much worse. Have you tried using Rhinocort. It is so cheap in Thailand, in Canada they charge you over 100 bucks for it. -

Travel Rising Prices, Broken Systems Dim Thailand’s Tourist Charm
Thailand is making a massive mistake if it cuts the tourist visa from 60 to 30 days. They won't stop being a nuisance if the tourist visa period is reduced anyway. Thailand has a problem with certain nationalities and it refuses to deal with that. Instead it will hurt the honest long stay class of visitors. The cannabis concerns are reasonable. It is pathetic that some foreigners walk around puffing on their blunts. I was having dinner with friends at the Tapas restaurant near the Hilton. across the soi from a cannabis shop. We couldn't eat our dinner in peace because of the thick cloud of skunk stink that kept drifting in. There should have been zoning, restricting the cannabis shops to certain areas. And yes the value proposition has disappeared from many of the larger hospitality brands. One group epitomizes the cheapening of the eating options. This entity has its hand in everything from "steak" to coffee shops, to fast food and every operation offers awful quality overly processed "food". I recently stayed at an alleged 4* hotel at BKK and the room was in terrible shape. Furniture was worn out, the mattress finished, and I paid 6500 baht. The big brand hotel chains have all increased their prices, but the services have been scaled back. The big brand hotels have been moving to checkin times of 3 or 4 pm and checkouts of 11 AM. It's ridiculous. Yes, there is still some good value to be found, but short stay tourists don't want the hassle of having to search for the value. Nor should they have to travel to the armpit of Thailand to find peace and quiet. They want clean air, clean beaches and an accessible opportunity to relax. -

Travel Thailand Sees Tourism Uptick but Faces Competitive Challenges
I read a lot of SE Asian news; I have never seen a country like Thailand where every other news article is about tourism and the need to attract more visitors by any means possible. -

Very big snake
With a spear like the one I made after having two snakes - at different times - come into our house. If another one comes in I'm ready to welcome it. -
